E! is one of the few U.S. general-entertainment cable channels that broadcasts a daily news program; its flagship entertainment news program is ''[[E! News]]'', which debuted on September 1, 1991. The weekday program (which also has an hour-long weekend edition) features stories and gossip about celebrities, and the film, music and television industries, and has been broadcast under various formats since its launch, even being aired live for a time during the mid-2000s. It was first hosted by Dagny Hultgreen. Steve Kmetko was a host from 1994 to 2002.{{Citation needed|date=January 2014}} It has been hosted by [[Terrence Jenkins]] and [[Giuliana Rancic]] since 2012 and 2006, respectively, with [[Ryan Seacrest]] (who co-anchored the program from 2006 to 2012) serving as [[managing editor]] of the news operation.

''E! News'' was the only entertainment news show on the channel for much of its history until 2006, when the channel launched ''[[The Daily 10]]'', hosted by [[Sal Masekela]] and [[Catt Sadler]] ([[Debbie Matenopoulos]] also co-hosted from the show's inception until 2008); the series was cancelled in September 2010 after E! announced that the weekday editions of ''E! News'' would be expanded to one hour starting on October 25, 2010.<ref>[http://www.multichannel.com/article/457412-E_Expands_Weeknight_Newscast_To_One_Hour.php E!

E! also carried a [[simulcast]] of business news channel [[Bloomberg Television]] from 2004 to January 2009, when the latter network had expanded its cable and satellite carriage to a level that allowed the discontinuation of the simulcast.

Outside ''E! News'' telecasts, the channel runs an ''E! News''–branded [[news ticker]] displaying entertainment news headlines each half-hour during regular programming; fast-breaking entertainment headlines (such as a celebrity arrest or death) may also be displayed on a ticker, during any program when warranted.

On August 5, 2020, E! canceled both New York-based shows, along with ''In The Room'', one of the first of many program and employee cuts and staff realignments announced across [[NBCUniversal]] that week due to the pandemic.<ref>{{cite web|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|url=https://deadline.com/2020/08/e-news-pop-of-the-morning-in-the-room-canceled-e-financial-1203005259/|title='E!

News'' website, and its social media presences.
Two years later, E! announced that ''E! News'' would be revived as a late-night entertainment news program and would return to the E! network after a two-year hiatus, with [[Adrienne Bailon|Adrienne Bailon-Houghton]] and Justin Sylvester (the latter of whom returned to the show for the revival) serving as co-hosts; it premiered on November 14, 2022.<ref>{{cite web|last=White|first=Peter|title=E!

===Original series===
The network was known early on for its daily video simulcast of the ''[[Howard Stern]] [[The Howard Stern Show|Show]]'', which aired from June 20, 1994, until July 8, 2005, weeknights in a truncated half-hour form, airing three times in late night. The program was discontinued several months after Stern moved to [[Sirius XM|Sirius Satellite Radio]] and sold the video rights to his show to pay-per-view provider [[In Demand]] as a monthly pay offering (video rights are now held by Sirius XM).<ref>{{Cite web|title=E! pulls the plug on Howard Stern|url=http://www.today.com/popculture/e-pulls-plug-howard-stern-wbna8321127|access-date=2021-03-06|website=TODAY.com|date=June 22, 2005 |language=en|archive-date=July 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210730223022/https://www.today.com/popculture/e-pulls-plug-howard-stern-wbna8321127|url-status=live}}</ref>

E! is known for its live red carpet pre-shows for the industry's three prominent award shows, the [[Primetime Emmy Award]]s, the [[Golden Globe Award]]s, and the [[Academy Awards]], and were famous for their fashion critiques by [[Joan Rivers]]; Rivers also hosted post-awards specials under the title ''[[Fashion Police]]'', which became a regular weekly series in September 2010. In April 2017, it was announced that E! had acquired the [[People's Choice Awards]], which will move to the network from [[CBS]] in 2018 with a new November scheduling. The network promoted that the show would be given an "end-to-end" experience that will leverage its existing experience in awards show coverage.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://deadline.com/2017/12/peoples-choice-awards-premiere-date-e-den-of-thieves-jesse-ignjatovic-evan-prager-1202226809/|title=People's Choice Awards Sets Premiere Date For Inaugural Telecast On E!|last=Ramos|first=Dino-Ray|date=December 14, 2017|work=Deadline|access-date=December 14, 2017|language=en-US|archive-date=January 18, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180118003816/http://deadline.com/2017/12/peoples-choice-awards-premiere-date-e-den-of-thieves-jesse-ignjatovic-evan-prager-1202226809/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://deadline.com/2017/04/peoples-choice-awards-cbs-e-1202063827/|title=People's Choice Awards Moves From CBS To E!|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|date=April 6, 2017|work=Deadline|access-date=December 14, 2017|archive-date=December 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171211003611/http://deadline.com/2017/04/peoples-choice-awards-cbs-e-1202063827/|url-status=live}}</ref> As ratings declined across all of cable television overall, the People's Choice returned to broadcast television in 2021, with E! simulcasting the ceremony with NBC.

The network also produces many documentary and biographical series, most notably ''[[E! True Hollywood Story]]''; many of E!'s original specials are entertainment-related ranging from light fare (such as ''25 Cutest Child Stars All Grown Up'') to serious fare (such as ''15 Most Unforgettable Hollywood Tragedies''). It also produces specials centering on investigative and crime stories including ''E! Investigates'', which features topical investigative reports on subjects ranging from [[child prostitution]] to [[teenage pregnancy]].

In recent years, the network has become known for its [[reality television]] programs. Its most popular series for over a decade has been ''[[Keeping Up with the Kardashians]]'', which spawned eight [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off series]] and countless specials. Other original reality programming airing on the network currently includes ''[[Total Divas]]''–a series featuring the [[WWE]]'s [[Bella Twins]], ''Hollywood Medium with [[Tyler Henry]]'', the [[plastic surgery]] repair series ''[[Dr. 90210]]'' and ''[[Botched (TV series)|Botched]]'', along with ''[[Very Cavallari]]'' with [[Kristin Cavallari]] and her (later ex-) husband [[Jay Cutler]],  ''Ladygang–''a television version of the popular [[podcast]], and [[Dating game show|dating show]] [[Dating NoFilter|''Dating #NoFilter'']],<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Petski |first=Denise |date=2018-12-12 |title=E!

E! has had five comedy programs: the late night talk show ''[[Chelsea Lately]]'', hosted by comedian [[Chelsea Handler]], its scripted/improvised spin-off ''[[After Lately]]'', and ''[[The Soup]]'' (based on the popular 1991–2002 E! series ''[[Talk Soup]]''), featuring clips of the previous week's TV shows with humorous commentary delivered by the host, actor/comedian [[Joel McHale]]. Handler also produced ''[[Love You, Mean It with Whitney Cummings|Love You, Mean It]]'', a weekly comedic look at pop culture hosted by [[Whitney Cummings]], and a nightly talk show from actress [[Busy Philipps]], ''[[Busy Tonight]]''. ''The Soup'' returned in February 2020, with new host [[Jade Catta-Preta]], though it, and many of E!'s in-studio shows, were cancelled in the last quarter of 2020 due to the effects of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] hampering production.

On September 8, 2020, it was announced the network's most popular series ''[[Keeping Up with the Kardashians]]'' would be ending with season 20 in 2021.

===Acquired series and films===
Over the years, E! has occasionally run acquired programming including reruns of ''[[Alice (American TV series)|Alice]]'', ''[[Absolutely Fabulous]]'', ''[[20/20 (American TV program)|20/20]]'' lifestyle-based interview shows from [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] (since removed under NBCUniversal ownership), and edited 60-minute versions of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', though fewer of these programs currently air.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=http://www.marketingmag.ca/news/media-news/out-with-the-e-in-with-the-new-at-canwest-upfront-8989|title=Out with the E!, in with the new at Canwest upfront|work=[[Marketing (magazine)|Marketing Magazine]]|date=June 3, 2009|access-date=August 19, 2011|archive-date=March 16, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120316110808/http://www.marketingmag.ca/news/media-news/out-with-the-e-in-with-the-new-at-canwest-upfront-8989|url-status=live}}</ref> The only programming currently airing on E! that it does not produce are [[standards and practices|broadcast standards-edited]] reruns of the former [[HBO]] series ''[[Sex and the City]]'' originally carried by HBO's sister network [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]], and [[feature film]]s that air under the banner "Movies We Love"; the latter was part of a since-abandoned initiative by the network to use films to increase the network's ratings, though the branding remains, and low and mid-grossing female-focused films from the [[Universal Pictures]] library usually receive their basic cable premiere on E!, with higher-grossing films premiering on [[USA Network]]. The network has aired same-week runs of NBC series (such as ''[[The Voice (American TV series)|The Voice]]'', ''[[Fashion Star]]'', ''[[Whitney (TV series)|Whitney]]'', and ''[[Are You There, Chelsea?]]''), and in the past aired previews of G4 programming to give that network an extended promotional platform due to their lowered carriage when it was removed from [[DirecTV]] in November 2010.<ref name="auto"/> The network also airs selected shows from the [[Peacock (streaming service)|Peacock]] streaming service (which E!'s parent company NBCUniversal owns).

=== Sports programming ===
Since Comcast's acquisition of NBCUniversal, E! has infrequently aired sporting events as an overflow outlet for [[NBC Sports]]. It has participated in NBC's "[[Survival Sunday|Championship Sunday]]" effort to broadcast all matches on the final matchday of the [[Premier League]] soccer season.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-05-13 |title=Non-soccer fans were pissed off that Premier League soccer was on every NBC network |url=https://awfulannouncing.com/nbc/non-soccer-fans-pissed-premier-league-every-nbc-network.html |access-date=2022-05-20 |website=Awful Announcing |language=en-US |archive-date=May 20, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220520040720/https://awfulannouncing.com/nbc/non-soccer-fans-pissed-premier-league-every-nbc-network.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In January 2022—amid the shutdown of long-time sister channel [[NBCSN]]—E! was incorporated into NBC Sports' coverage of two [[figure skating]] events ahead of the [[2022 Winter Olympics]], the [[2022 European Figure Skating Championships]] and [[2022 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships|Four Continents Figure Skating Championships]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=NBC Sports and U.S. Figure Skating Announce 2021–22 Television Schedule |url=https://usfigureskatingfanzone.com/news/2021/10/7/nbc-sports-and-us-figure-skating-announce-2021-22-television-schedule.aspx |access-date=2022-05-20 |website=U.S. Figure Skating Fan Zone |date=October 7, 2021 |language=en |archive-date=January 8, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220108222138/https://usfigureskatingfanzone.com/news/2021/10/7/nbc-sports-and-us-figure-skating-announce-2021-22-television-schedule.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref> E! would be involved in NBC's coverage of the [[2024 Summer Olympics]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gomez |first=Dessi |date=2024-08-12 |title=2024 Paris Summer Olympics TV Schedule: Full Event, Date & Channel Listings |url=https://deadline.com/lists/2024-paris-summer-olympics-tv-schedule/ |access-date=2024-08-12 |website=Deadline |language=en-US}}</ref>
